Correct. And tho Eastern pa-
were nevermore truthful than
in making; such reference.
The Knights of Labor man who
was here last week said in his
speech that the majority of labor-
had their brains in their
and never go to work until
they get hungry. To a great de-
his words were only too true.
If there was less idleness in this
land there would be less hard
times.
WanamaKer's crew seem to be
going wrong. A short while since
the postmaster at Selma was arrest-
ed for taking money out of the
mails. He gave bond for his
at trial, and no sooner
was he released than he was nab-
bed a second time for stealing an
overcoat. Last week two
clerks in the Charlotte
were arrested for pilfering letters.
The administration has every
to be proud of its appointments.
John ought to put a few more
thieves and in office.
Some of our exchanges seem to
be casting about for more
fields. The for some-
time published at LaGrange, has
been removed to Goldsboro, will
be enlarged to seven columns and
published as a Sunday morning
paper. The Clipper, previously
published at Hookerton, in Greene
county, goes to Bell's Ferry, in
the lower part of Pitt county. We
suppose the I Upper views Bell's
Ferry as a better field of operation
from the fact that the railroad ex-
tension from Greenville to Kinston for Greenville was a lady
indignation meeting against the
railroad, so far as our knowledge
goes, but we hear frequent com-
plaints as to the manner in which
the advertised is carried
out. Greenville may not have as
much money in the road as has
Scotland Neck, but some of our
people did give considerable, both
in money and in right of way
across their lands. However, what
they may or may not have given
to secure the railroad is not the
question with us. In our humble
opinion it would be far better to
cultivate a of friendliness and
good will between the oration
and the people than that the con-
should exist. By the
ration acting in such a manner as
to virtually say to the people

to suit out selves; we know you
have got to travel on it or walk ;

It is usually this action on the
part of corporations that raises
such a sentiment people
against them. How much better
it would be if everybody was
friendly to the railroad and spoke
a good word for it, feeling at the

some interest in their welfare.
In reference to the schedule on
the Scotland Neck Greenville
road, it could hardly cause more
inconvenience than at present.
Frequently people here who have
to meet the trains are compelled
to stand around the depot from
one to two hours, regardless of the
condition of the weather, waiting
for the trains. Then the
along the route is equally as
inconvenient. We had occasion
to be on the road about two weeks
ago and could readily see what
discomfort and annoyance it was
to the traveling public. There
were about twenty people coming
to Greenville and quite a number
for on the train that
left Tarboro. Among the number

Time to Speak Out.
In the last issue of the Scotland
Neck Democrat we find the follow-
It is generally conceded by
most every one that railroads are a
great blessing to any community;
and in most cases so they are. The
fact that are beneficial to com-
linked with the further
fact that they are controlled by
who possess large fortunes, seems
to restrain people from
the actions of these corporations,
when the same things, if done by
individual, would be denounced in
unmeasured times.
Now, this is wrong. When a
corporation over steps the proper
bounds, it to be just
as individuals. This is what we
propose to do here and now.
We do it in no spirit unfairness
or spite, in the name of even-
handed justice.
Some ten years ago, as well as
we remember, the people of Scot-
land Neck and community gave the
Wilmington and Weldon
company towards building
a branch road from Halifax to Scot-
land Neck, with fair understand-
as we have heard it, that the
road should not go beyond this
place. Scotland Neck was to be the ,
terminus.
We were not a citizen of this
place then, but we suppose that the
reason the people exacted such
terms of the railroad company was
that they feared an extension the
road would make this place a way
station so the growth
the town.
Be that as it may, the road has
been extended to Greenville, and
will soon be carried further. We
have no quarrel to make that.
We have never thought that an ex-
tension of road would hurt
Scotland Neck.
But what we have to complain of
is
